Observation: Dispensing utensils improperly stored between uses.(Ice Scoop)
Correction: Store in-use utensils or dispensing utensils in one of the following manners: 1) In the food with their handles above the top of the food and the container. 2) In food that is not potentially hazardous with their handles above the top of the food within containers or equipment that can be closed. 3) On a clean portion of the food preparation table or cooking equipment only if the in-use utensil and the food-contact surface of the food preparation table or cooking equipment are cleaned and sanitized every 4 hours. 4) In running water of sufficient velocity to flush particulates to the drain. 5) In a clean, protected location if the utensils are used only with a food that is not potentially hazardous. 6) In a container of water if the water is maintained at a temperature of at least 135°F.
- Critical: Food - Potentially Hazardous Food - Cold Holding* (corrected on site)
Observation: Pico cold holding at improper temperatures
Correction: Relocate food to a refrigeration unit that is capable of maintaining food storage at 41°F or below.
- Nonfood-Contact Surfaces - Corrosion Resistant/Nonabsorbent
Observation: The nonfood contact surface of the knife strip is not corrosion resistant, nonabsorbent, and/or smooth.
Correction: Nonfood contact equipment that is exposed to splash, spillage, food soiling, or requires frequent cleaning must be smooth, durable, and nonabsorbent.
- Equipment - Good Repair and Proper Adjustment
Observation: Dishwasher was observed in a state of disrepair and damaged. (Gauge not working properly)
Correction: Repair the Dishwasher to restore a state of condition that allows for proper operation, accuracy, functioning, maintenance, and cleanability per Part IV, Article 1 and 2 of this chapter. If unable to repair the Dishwasher, replace it with one that meets the specifications of Part IV, Article 1 and 2 of this chapter.
- Equipment and Utensils, Air-Drying Required (corrected on site)
Observation: Stainless pans were found stacked while wet after cleaning and chemical sanitization.
Correction: Items must be allowed to drain and air-dry before being stacked or stored to allow evaporation of chemical sanitizer and moisture that may encourage microbial growth.
- Physical Facilities - Cleaning Frequency and Restrictions (repeated violation)
Observation: Floor in Walk-in Freezer noted in need of cleaning.
Correction: All floors, walls, and ceilings must be cleaned as often as necessary to keep them clean. Cleaning of the physical facilities is an important measure in ensuring the protection and sanitary preparation of food. A regular cleaning schedule should be established and followed to maintain the facility in a clean and sanitary manner.

- Critical: Food - Packaged and Unpackaged - Separation, Packaging, and Segregation* (corrected on site)
Observation: Unwrapped or uncovered food in the Walk in Cooler
Correction: Protect food from cross contamination by storing food in packages, covered containers, or wrappings.
- Critical: Cooling* (corrected on site)
Observation: Cooked potatoes noted not being adequately cooled to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria.
Correction: Cool potentially hazardous foods from 135°F to 70°F within 2 hours and within a total of 6 hours from 135°F to 41°F. A longer time for cooling allows an ideal situation for bacterial growth. This has been shown to be the major contributing factor in many foodborne illnesses.
- Critical: Warewashing - Manual & Mechanical Warewashing Equipment, Chemical Sanitization - Temperature, pH, Concentration & Hardness* (corrected on site)
Observation: Quaternary Ammonium sanitizing solution used was not at an acceptable concentration at the dishwasher behind the bar. (NO sanitizer was present)
Correction: Adjust the sanitizing solution to 200 parts per million or otherwise identified by manufacturer's recommendations.
- Warewashing Equipment, Determining Chemical Sanitizer Concentration
Observation: A sanitizer test kit is not being used to ensure the chemical sanitizing solution(s) are at the proper concentration.
Correction: Use a quats chemical test kit to ensure the sanitizing solution is maintained at the proper solution.
